Issue and workaround about vertical typesetting (informational)

Hello,

Under FontForge default configuration, generated fonts don't work with
vertical typesetting as in Japanese and Chinese. In this case,
horizontal forms of punctuations rather than vertical forms, or even
causes mojibake.

According to Mplus font forum, this issue can be solved by setting
CoverageFormatsAllowed in ~/.FontForge/prefs 1 instead of 3 (default).
See http://sourceforge.jp/projects/mplus-fonts/forums/3403/34824/.

After preference is set, add LoadPrefs() to your FontForge native
scripts, or fontfotge.loadPrefs() to Python scripts in order to load
CoverageFormatsAllowed preference.

Alternatively, in FontForge scripts, add
SetPref("CoverageFormatsAllowed", 1) for native scripts, and
fontforge.setPrefs('CoverageFormatsAllowed', 1) for Python scripts.

For your information,
MihailJP
